Chapter 46 - The first carriage

When the Ghost Candle was mentioned, the first thing that popped into Zhao Yi's mind was the first carriage.

It was also the carriage that the little ghost girl, Xuanxuan, had directed Zhao Yi to.

Xuanxuan was a name from the textbook.

Zhao Yi thanked the three Evil Spirits and headed towards the third carriage, only to have his arm grabbed by a middle-aged man.

"Hey, hey, hey!"

"Brother Zhao Yi, where are you going?"

Zhao Yi replied earnestly, "To pursue my freedom!"

Seeing Zhao Yi determined to leave, the middle-aged man hurriedly said, "I'll go with you!"

Although the three Evil Spirits had promised they were temporarily safe, Wang Xu still believed that following Zhao Yi was the safest option.

Even if it meant he had to do something, as long as it wasn't too dangerous, he had no problem with it.

But Li Miaomiao wasn't having it.

"If you all leave, what about me?"

A flicker of displeasure flashed in Wang Xu's eyes, but he didn't voice it.

"You can come with us."

Li Miaomiao glanced at the two of them and sneered.

"Go with you to court death?"

"I finally found a temporarily safe place, do you think I'm stupid?"

At this point, Wang Xu couldn't hold back anymore and frowned, "We're all in the same dungeon task, do you really think you can just sit back and reap the benefits without lifting a finger?"

Li Miaomiao retorted sharply, "Oh, oh, oh, the old oil field is getting anxious!"

"I'm telling you, you brought me in, so you have to take me out!"

"Besides, since Zhao Yi is so capable, can't he complete the task on his own? It's not like you're doing the task for me!"

"If the task isn't completed, everyone will die!"

This book is hosted on another platform. Read the official version and support the author's work.

Even Wang Xu, as smooth and cautious as he was, was truly infuriated by Li Miaomiao.

But since they were all in the same boat, he didn't want to stir up trouble for himself.

He couldn't afford to burn bridges.

"We have no obligation to protect you. If you want to follow us, then come. If you don't, you can stay here and wait for us to finish the task. It's up to you!"

He left those words angrily and went after Zhao Yi.

Li Miaomiao's face, which was somewhat pretty, was filled with coldness and resentment as she watched their backs for a moment before reluctantly following.

She didn't want to do this, but she knew that staying in the fifth carriage would be even more dangerous!

The safety promised by the three Evil Spirits was only temporary.

There was no specific time.

When the two men she considered lowly and insignificant left, she would be left to face the danger alone.

So, even though she was unhappy, she followed behind the two.

Entering the fourth carriage, the scene before them was quite eerie.

Unlike the others, the fourth carriage seemed to have no trials. In the flickering light of the chandelier, six Evil Spirits huddled in a corner, trembling as if they were afraid of something.

In front of them, on a hard seat, sat a cute girl humming an unknown nursery rhyme.

As the three of them approached, they realized it was Tian Tian holding a worn-out teddy bear.

Seeing Zhao Yi, Tian Tian happily jumped off her seat and threw herself into his arms.

"Brother Zhao!"

"Winnie just told me you'd come to save us, and here you are!"

Zhao Yi patted her head and glanced at the corner where the Evil Spirits were.

Their eyes were filled with fear when they looked at Tian Tian.

It seemed that Tian Tian had done something to frighten them!

"Ha, let me introduce you. These uncles are passengers of this carriage. They were so enthusiastic earlier, wanting to play games with me... but they stopped halfway, how annoying!"

Tian Tian made a face at the trembling Evil Spirits in the corner.

This scared one of the female ghosts so much that she wet herself!

The scene was shockingly intense!

If Zhao Yi hadn't pulled Tian Tian away quickly, they would have been sprayed all over.

Behind them, Li Miaomiao looked at the ghosts and said sarcastically, "Lucky you!"

"Ran into a bunch of cowardly wimps."

She felt particularly unbalanced. Why did she encounter vicious ghosts while this seemingly delicate girl ran into a group of scaredy-cat ghosts?

But still, no one paid her any attention, as if she were invisible.

Zhao Yi scanned the area and confirmed there was no way out of this carriage.

The door was covered with a membrane that couldn't be broken by force.

It seemed the task didn't want them to take shortcuts.

Or perhaps the system rules were protecting them.

The outside world was filled with unimaginable dangers, and they needed to get the Ghost Candle before considering leaving the train!

So, they had to go to the first carriage.

"Alright, stop trembling. I'm taking Tian Tian to the first carriage. You guys can play here."

Zhao Yi spoke, and the six Evil Spirits immediately kowtowed to him in gratitude.

"Woo woo!"

"Great benefactor!"

"We bow to you!"

These guys were clearly terrified of Tian Tian.

Zhao Yi ruffled Tian Tian's hair and led her towards the third carriage.

Wang Xu followed closely behind Zhao Yi, staying cautious and deliberately avoiding the Evil Spirits as he passed them.

Even though these Evil Spirits seemed quite lowly, he remained vigilant.

As for Li Miaomiao, who was walking at the back, she even spat at the six ghosts.

She looked smug, as if she had finally turned from a victim to an aggressor, but when the ghost she spat on raised its head, its icy green eyes made Li Miaomiao's legs go weak!

She shivered in fear and stumbled towards the third carriage, accidentally twisting her high heel and taking a big fall, her cold face landing right on Wang Xu's sweat-soaked and mysteriously scented backside.

The bizarre smell almost made Li Miaomiao vomit. She pushed Wang Xu away and leaned against a seat, dry heaving, her face turning green and white.

Everyone looked at each other, unsure of what had happened.

Li Miaomiao's face was pale, and her gaze towards Wang Xu was filled with increasing disgust.

The second and third carriages were the starting points for Wen Long, Bai Shuiji, and Qin Xiufang. By the time Zhao Yi arrived, they had successfully completed their ghost games in their carriages. From their accounts, the ghost games in the carriages weren't too difficult and didn't pose a deadly threat.

Except for Zhao Yi's sixth carriage.

But as a player with a luck stat of 0, Zhao Yi didn't have high expectations for himself.

All seven of them were still alive, with no losses.

They entered the first carriage one by one.

Here, there were no seats.

Only a blood-stained wooden table blocked the path to the driver's cabin.

On it were six bloody human heads, their expressions eerie, with their scalps and skulls sliced open, and six green-glowing candles burning in the center of their brains!

The crew member turned around, her neck broken, hanging by a layer of skin, and she cackled at them:

"Welcome, everyone... to the D19 train!"

Seeing this woman, Zhao Yi realized that the task had finally reached its main point...
